The general trend is that over time, a construction starts out as two words, eventually becomes hyphenated, and finally ends up as one word. I.e., lawn mower becomes lawn-mower becomes lawnmower. Me, I prefer it as two words, but maybe that's because I'm an old fart and resistant to change.
Either the mobile apps or the tool will get you personalized refund information based on the processing of your tax return. They will provide an actual refund date as soon as the IRS processes your tax return and approves your refund. Most refunds will be issued in less than 21 days.
What is the advantage of direct deposit vs. getting a check? Speed, security, and convenience. By e-filing and choosing direct deposit, the IRS expects to issue 9 out of 10 refunds within 21 days, as opposed to 4-6 weeks for a check in the mail. With a direct-deposited refund, you don't need to worry about your check getting lost in the mail, nor do have to go to the bank to deposit or cash it. You can even split a direct-deposited refund into 2 or 3 different accounts (unless you're using the optional Refund Processing Service to pay your TurboTax fees). Limitations
